Tech Classes Begin Monday!

Welcome back from Winter Break, Huskies!

Ski and Snowboard classes begin Monday as scheduled.

To reduce wait times, and better serve all of our students and guests, all RENTAL EQUIPMENT for classes should be secured prior to the first day of class.
Equipment will be set up in advance and available for pick up in the rental pick up building (small green building outside the lower main entrance) prior to class times.

If you are renting for the first time, allow a minimum of 30 minutes to pick-up equipment and be ‘on snow ready’ prior to the start of class. Classes will meet in the RACE ROOM, (blue building west of the main chalet) on week 1.

Get your RENTAL EQUIPMENT TODAY and be ready for classes next week!

Contact Ripley Office at 906-487-2340 with questions.

Who needs gear?

After School Participants and Michigan Tech students taking ski or snowboard classes;

Please make sure to arrive at least 30 minutes ahead of your class starting time to allow time to pick up rental equipment, if needed.

If you are renting for the first time and have not paid, or you have not yet been fitted for your equipment, please attempt to visit Mont Ripley prior to your first day of class. If that is not possible, please arrive more than 30 minutes ahead of time! Come to the ticket office for any payments.

Please be patient with the office and rental staff as we prepare for classes to resume this week. The first week is always the most difficult.

ALL CLASSES MEET IN THE RACE ROOM!
The race room is located just to the Northwest of the chalet. Pick up rental gear first, inside the main entrance and then head straight there. Michigan Tech Students can swipe for a day pass at class.

For questions of concerns, please contact the ticket office at (906) 487-2340
